Xavi Hernandez warned Barcelona not to fall asleep in the title race after being held to a second successive goalless draw in LaLiga at Getafe on Sunday.
Raphinha and Alejandro Balde both hit the post in the first half as Barca followed up last week’s stalemate against Girona with more dropped points in the league.
They remain 11 points clear of Real Madrid at the top with nine games to go but, with in-form Atletico Madrid to come at Spotify Camp Nou next week, Xavi says his team need to get back on track quickly.
“We are not in our best form of the season, in terms of performances or results,” he said after the Getafe draw. “We tried, but we were too sluggish. We are having a good season in LaLiga.
but we can’t go to sleep now. We have important games coming up.”.
